Manny bashed at the keyboard and said:
When I use the image toolbar to save a picture from a web
page, the image file format option I get all the time now
is a bitmap. It used to save the image that corresponded
to what the web page address said it was, such as a jpeg
image file etc. I would like to save the image as a
jpeg. How do I change internet explorer to allow me to do
this?

Clear your Temporary Internet Files, then try again. To do so to IE/Internet
Options/Delete Files.
Also in Settings change the amount to 40 MB.
This will help in preventing the index files from becoming overloaded.
If that doesn't help check your settings here: Go to Start/Run/Regedit and
navigate to this key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg. For Content Type, it should read image/jpeg.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg For content Type, it should read: image/jpeg.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif For Content Type is should read image/gif.
NOTE: If you are using AOL: This behavior may occur when AOL's graphic
compression option is turned on. When this option is on, the images are
saved as the .art file type.
Connect to the Internet through AOL, and then visit the following AOL Web
site:
www.aol.com. Click My AOL. On the Settings menu, click Preferences. In
the Preferences dialog box, click Internet Options (WWW). In the Internet
Options dialog box, click to clear the Always Compress Graphics dialog box.
Click to select the Never Compress Graphics dialog box. Click Apply, and
then click OK.
